Fluid Mechanics
A second part of a two-semester graduate course. It covers topics from incompressible, Newtonian flows (Stokes flow, lubrication theory, free-surface flows, hydrodynamic stability), electrokinetics, geophysical fluid dynamics, and if time permits explores some more specialized topics of current research interest. The emphasis is on basic physics, scaling and nondimensionalization, and approximations that can be used to obtain analytical solutions.
